Last July, John's classmate, Chloe, gave him one of those grow your own butterfly kits which we sort of forgot about until a couple of weeks ago. John asked when we could get the caterpillars and I told him we just had to pay for the shipping charge. They arrived last week, but both boys were feeling quite ill with a nasty ear infection. We picked them up from Grammy's house and are now waiting for the caterpillars to go to the top of the cup. At that point, we'll transfer them to the butterfly net and wait for the wonders of metamorphosis to occur.
